SUMMARY:Bread & Puppet Theater presents “The Upside Down World Circus”
DESCRIPTION:The one and only Bread & Puppet Circus is hitting the road! This Fall The Upside Down World Circus will tour cities and towns from Glover to New York to Minneapolis and more! Get ready for a show featuring puppets big and small\, acts serious and silly\, and performances slapstick and sublime. Stilt dancers\, paper maché beasts\, and a riotous brass band make a raucous\, colorful spectacle of protest and celebration. After the show Bread & Puppet will serve its famous sourdough rye bread with aioli\, and Bread & Puppet’s “Cheap Art” – books\, posters\, postcards\, pamphlets and banners from the Bread & Puppet Press – will be for sale. \nThe Bread & Puppet Theater is a political puppet theater founded in 1963 by Peter & Elka Schumann on New York City’s Lower East Side. Now based in Glover\, VT\, the company regularly tours the country and world with tightly composed theater pieces as well as sprawling outdoor pageants. \nThe internationally celebrated company champions a visually rich\, street-theater brand of performance art filled with music\, dance\, and slapstick elements. Believing that theater is a basic necessity like bread\, the company frequently brings its work to the streets for those who may not otherwise go to the theater. Its shows are political and spectacular\, with puppets often on stilts\, wearing huge masks with expressive faces\, singing\, dancing\, and playing music. \nTickets: $10-$25 suggested donation with no one turned away for lack of funds; free for UMF students. Advance tickets available beginning Aug. 4th at Up Front & Pleasant Gourmet (157 Front St.\, Farmington ME; Open Tues.-Fri: 10am-5pm\, and 1st & 3rd Sat. of each month from 10am-2pm)
